Genuine Boston FrugaIitY.

A Imaginable story is told at the ex- pense of Boston gentleman, who came with party of exeursionists to the coast When the Bostonian had been duly dusted, and all traces of travel carefully removed from his immaculate :broadcloth and shining beaver, he turned to the affable porter with a benign smile, and vouchsafed: .sWelI, I suppose you want something for your trouble, and, drawing out his portly wallet, he took therefrom two bright new pennies, and with the air of man who was doing rather more than was expected of him, or the occasion de manded, presented them to the porter. A look of puzzled astonishment over spread the features of the African, as nothing smaller than the five-cent nickel circulates here; but as soon as he re- gained speech he passed them back with the remark: We has no use for them here. sah!'' s.O," replied the frugal New Englander, keep them, keep them; you may go East some time.

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy, crave food; the nervous system, when vigorous and tranquil, gives it's possessor no uneasiness at night. A tonic, to be effective, should not be a mere appetizer, nor are the nerves to be strengthened and soothed by the unaided action of sedative or narcotic What is required is medicine which invigor- ates the stomach and promotes assimila- tion of food by the system, by which means the nervous system, as we'll as other parts of the physical organism, are strengthened. These are the effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, medicine whose reputation is founded firmly in public confidence, and which physicians commend for its tonic, anti bilious and other properties. It is used with the best results in fever and ague, rheuma- tism, kidney and uterine weakness, and other maladies.

ENORMOUS FORTUNES.
Wealthy Men in the United States, En,
 gland and on the Continent.

Wealthy Men in the United States, En-
 gland and on the Continent.
 Free England and democratic Amer ica lead the rest of the world in very rich men. The free play of modern in- dustries and the absence of paternal government favor the growth of enor- nous fortunes in the .Eng1ish-speaking countries. Outside ofthe few Jewish bankers, such as the Rothsehilds, and Herr Krupp, the great gun-maker, there are very few millionaires on the conti-i nent of Europe In Prussia, Herr Krupp has an income of 5000, 900 marks, about S1, 250, 900 of our money, on which he pays $37,0o0 tax to the government. Next comes Baron Roths- child of Frankfort, with about $6S0,00O, and Baron Bleichreder, whose income is about S600,000 There are only two other Prussians with an income over $500, 900. We beat the world in mil honaires. This is accounted for by the fact that on the continent the rail- roads and telegraph are owned mainly by the government, and the profits on transportation accrue to the benefit of the National treasuries. In the United States the railroads and telegraph are in private hands, and the manipulation of their stocks, as well as the profits of the business, goes to pile up the enor- nous fortunes of our Jay Goulds, Van derbilts, Stanfords, Huntingtons, Stages, \ not to mention the hundreds of others who have become millicnaires as!the result of manipulation in the stocks of corporations. It may be worthy of note, in passing, that wealthy real es- tate owners, outside of the Astor family, are not very common in this country. Our laws provide for the breaking up of great estates upon the death of the head of the house, and this puts a check to accumulations of landed wealth in a few hands. But personal property, in the form of the ownership of shares in corporations, can be better kept together in this country, and it will be noticed that in the wills of Com modore Vanderbilt and his son, Will jam H., provision was made for con centrating the wealth on one or two of the heirs. The Astor estate in New York has been held together, it is be- lieved, by an evasion of the law regu- lating the discount of bonded property. But the time must come when it will be scattered among all the heirs. Dem oreSt's Monthly.
